Stacks Futures Cumulative Volume Delta
Track Stacks perpetual futures cumulative volume delta across 4 perp venues.
What is Cumulative Volume Delta for Stacks?
Stacks cumulative volume delta (CVD) is the running total of STX futures volume bought by takers minus volume sold by takers. It measures which side is crossing the spread aggressively.
Sharpe builds STX CVD from Binance perpetual futures candles, the venue whose data carries taker buy volume, so the chart is one venue's order flow rather than a cross-venue total.
How to read the Stacks Cumulative Volume Delta chart
Rising Stacks CVD means aggressive buyers are in control; falling CVD means aggressive sellers are.
The useful signal is divergence: if STX price makes a new high while CVD does not, the rally is happening on weaker buying. If CVD falls while price holds, passive buyers are absorbing the selling.
CVD is cumulative, so its absolute level depends on where the window starts. Read its slope and its turns, not the number itself.

A divergence is when STX price and CVD move in different directions. It often shows a move running out of aggressive participation, or passive orders absorbing it.
Why does the Stacks CVD value look arbitrary?
